Attending Tuition Classes At The Age of 5???

0 Your View On This
I wonder what 'tuition' is being given to children as young as 5years old???

Shouldn't we be focusing more on social skills - MORE PLAY, LESS STRESS??
Why & When have our society become this 'Kiasu'??

Is such system the RIGHT one??

After Becoming A Mother Myself, I Then Understand...

0 Your View On This
I was 'officially' a Mother after delivering my girl, Alexis, on 30th Sept 2009.

Whether or not, the option to deliver your baby with or without epidural;
Whether or not, the choice to stay in 4-bedded, 2-bedded or 1-bedded;
All of the 'unnecessary' worries were so uncalled for ~ after I cuddled her close to me the next minute she enters this world to me ~ nothing more matters than her health and safety.

The first time when I held her close;
The first time when she latched on to my breast;
That feeling is so special that only me and her share together.

The minute when she enters the world;
Her first cry ~ I believe, created that amazing sense of responsibility for Daddy (Aaron).

This is our child whom both of us have been patiently waiting for 9months.

Today is 24th November; 1 month and 25days after Alexis's delivery.
I have been taking care of her, day and night, ensuring that she has enough feeds, that overall she is well and happy.

It was only after becoming a Mother myself, I then understand;
The joy I had brought to my parents ~ when I am good;
And the pain I had brought upon them ~ when I rebelled.

It was only after becoming a Mother myself; I then understand;
It just take that little effort from me to bring a smile upon them,
It just take a little of my time (to be with them), to bring them happiness,
It just require that little bit of patience from me, to give them security,
If only I had understand this earlier...

If only I had a chance to say 'Sorry' to my mom, whom I have brought her joy, as well as hurt.

Life is so unpredictable, we never know what comes next.
All I asked for is good health and safety for my daughter, Alexis.
No matter how old she is, she will still be my child...

When Life Does Not Flow The Way One Wishes...

All of us wish and plan for our future;
For a better tomorrow, in terms of luxury, in terms of health.

Yet many times, our plans may not flow the way we have planned.
We may have to sacrifice our plans;
With unexpected events such as the lost of a family member or events beyond our control.

We count ourselves 'fortunate' when people around us are supportive;
And 'unfortunate' when we have no one to turn to - when one is in need.
The only way to console ourselves is perhaps to 'be glad that we still get to wake up this morning to see the light - light of HOPE'.

When there is HOPE, life continues.
It is in our own hands, to turn every 'unfortunate', a 'fortunate' ending;
It is in our own hands, to make every sad day, a happy day.

Even if the chances are down to a 1% ;
This 1% is still better than a 0%.

Never give up, never lose heart;
When there is HOPE, there is LIFE.

"When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit -
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver line of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit."
